So here is my new toy,
I was getting very bored driving around a stock EA s-pack wagon, a very immaculate wagon but after having many fun cars it was doing my head in. getting close to winter boating season was well and truly over. So i started looking for another toy, I was looking at SSV sportswagons, Typhoon again, FG GT's and after talking to Theo at bluepower and him saying that the FG GT's can't really be supercharged without building a motor straight away changed my decision on the GT so I started looking at XR8's. I found this one on Carsales had all the goodies so i called up the ford dealer in bendigo where it was and asked them all about it, as you know i keep my cars immaculate to i didn't want to drive up there and find that it was crap, he assured me it was very clean with no scratches or marks on it at all. So next day i was driving home from Bendigo in my new toy though on the way to pick it up i went past Bluepower to get one of there Airbox's also. Spec's 2009 FG XR8 in Nitro. 290 Boss motor. TR6060 manual. Leather, Premium sound, Optioned 19's (Pirrelli P-Zero Nero's), Reverse Sensors. So the plans are simple, KB, Difillipo, brembo's 400+ atw  Pics.

Awesome car for a KB Blown Project, out of interest any reason why you are going with a KB 5.4L over say a Miami GS/GT?
Personally i like the route you are taking alot more. |

Cheers man, I used to own a BA XR8 a few years ago and always loved the sound of the 5.4, the Miami is nice but a GS is just a XR8 really anyway. I have driven a 355 GT for the day and it was good but wasn't that excited over it. Cost is another thing a Miami is going to be a good 12k more on the base car plus parts, exhaust, intake, intercooler and blower snout. A 5.4 will produce more torque than a Miami of the same power, the only real down fall is the weight which can be overcome with a alloy block That was my thoughts anyways, haha

Beautiful car - I love the XR8s.
Is it just me or is that lower than stock also? Is that the way you bought it? |

Looks very nice buddy. Nice and clean. I prefer a spoiler but in saying that it does look good without it. Just needs a little lowering
e.g SL/SSL or something. cheers

Cheers man, I've never liked spoiler are per all my cars have had them removed. I like the clean lines and uncluttered look. Yeah everyone says that but i never really notice it i guess it cause I'm driving it not looking at it from behind. Quote:
